I will relate to you some little info about a novel I wrote back in 1995. I have never submitted it to be published (but I'm going to submit it finally after a final rewrite). I wrote it as a basis for a movie I wanted to make with a dream cast. This dream cast would include Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sam Neill, Christopher Lambert, Jean Reno, and Christopher Walken.

However, I think the actors I want will be too old by the time the novel gets made by me into a movie. Now would be the perfect time for this sci-fi/action thriller/film noir to be made into a movie in the next year or two. The dreams we have that never get realized.

Tony Kane, Part 3

"You're crazy about seeing a witness. What if she has to be called as a witness? People will atttack her on the relationship if they find out?" Garza ranted.

"No one will find out. I'm discrete. Zoe knows the risk," Kane replied.

"I hope you're right. I don't want the guy who killed Darius to go free on a witness being called into doubt."

"Then we will have to find more to hang the murderer on. "

Garza grunted and turned away from Kane. He got into the car. It was just another night. Another murder scene to go to. Kane couldn't wait for his shift to be over. He wanted to be with Zoe because there was no one like her in his life.

KANE AND ZOE, Part 2

"Tony, do you love me?"
"How can you ask me that, Zoe? It is only the third date."
'I'm burning inside when I'm not in the room with you. My heart aches for you. Don't leave me. I want this to last forever." Zoe pushed her naked body against Kane's under the red satin sheets. She kissed Tony Kane. His fluids intermingled with hers.

"I don't know about forever. I have seen so much death," Kane said, "That sometimes life lasts for a moment before we're gone. I take life a day at a time. Here today, maybe gone tomorrow."

"That''s a horrible way to look at things, Tony. Love sets us free."

"Love doesn't help some. I have seen lovers dead in their bed. I have seen one confess to killing the other. This job has colored me to a point. Moments with you help remind me why I do my job. I speak for the victims because others have silenced them."

"Just shut up and slip right into me again. we have a few hours before you go to work."

Who is Tony Kane?

"You're nuts!"
"Why do you think I'm a total whack, Garza?" Detective Kane replied.
"Trying to solve each and every case in the Old District. "

"Every vic tells a story. We are the only ones that will speak for them. We can't let them be unloved and unsolved. The Old District may be a crappy place to work cases, but I have to do my job."

Garza shook his head as he stamped out his cigarette.
"You know someone is going to put one into you one of these days."

"I don't believe a bullet is out there for everyone. That's cynical," Kane said.
"Whatever," Garza said, "Don't expect to take me down with you when you get a bullet."
"I'm hurt. You won't have my back?"
"I'll back my partner, but I won't take a bullet for you."

"Who's the vic?"
"Darius Jude. We have a few witnesses to the crime."

Been busy...

I have been working on editing four short stories I want to submit, started a new short story, and continued with my work on a sci-fi novel. I will make sure to post something later in the week- a short piece of fiction or a poem.
